The herbs add a fresh zip to this cauliflower rice, making for a tasty side dish as is or topped with your favorite gravy or sauce. The secret to a fluffy and light texture is to dry the 'rice' on the stovetop before serving.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place a steamer insert into a pot and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until fork-tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove cauliflower and steamer from the pot. Drain all water and return cauliflower to the empty pot. Add chives, parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Set pot over medium-low heat. Mash cauliflower with a potato masher to the consistency of rice grains. Stir until excess moisture evaporates and the 'rice' appears fluffy, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds for the pine nuts.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cauliflower rice turned out mushy. :(
